Mouse control

We keep finding evidence of mice around the house. A few months ago you may remember that I found one in a box containing a new pair of boots, having shredded the laces. A couple of weeks ago, Mrs H found one fast asleep in a bucket containing cleaning cloths.

Both were deposited in fields some distance away.

Yesterday, Mrs H noticed a pool of water appear from under the dishwasher. When I got home, I pulled it out and found the drain pipe had been chewed though (how on earth do they find that of interest?)

Anyway, today I ordered a humane mouse trap from Amazon.......it arrives tomorrow.

Whilst browzing, I saw some ultrasonic devices that emit a sound that is reckoned to repel small rodents and insects. Reviews are slightly mixed.

My question is......do any of you wise folk have experience of these devices and are they any good?

Awwwww! How cute!

Actually, they do look familiar. Do you live in the field up the road from us?

7 nights and counting......

Ian do you realise that mice are incontinent so they will have wee on every surface they have been on. I hate the sonic thing as even if you cannot hear it after a while it gives you a funny sensation in your ears.

No wonder the mice were coming back Ian as they were having a free meal.

Well maybe so.......but it could only be a tiny little wee, surely? wink

I have two sonic devices ,one at each end ot the garage.I am sure the mice like the music they make.  I get the contents of the cat's  litter tray from a cat owner neighbour and leave this open in a dish. Any mouse not taking the hint has a trap to contend with. I now get very few  furry intruders.
